HAIL eSATA-n posted:don't use 1blocker when firefox focus is free and they all do the same thing this is stupid advice. Firefox focus is very gimped, has no tabbed browsing, worse performance and uses more battery life, so it’s a much shittier experience than safari. ya they ‘all do the same thing’ in that they use the same lists but you get some control over what to include and not, and you can make your own custom packages, so if some site in particular is hosed you can fix that. accepting a garbage experience because it’s free is some android nonsense, it’s a good thing to buy apps and support devs if something is good

firefox focus provides adblocking capabilities to safari and thats all i need it for. do people actually use the browsers adblockers are packaged with? i didn't even know focus had prepackaged webview lol.

eh, no map is perfect google map has lead me through unpaved dirt road with freshly washed away ditches few feet deep in the middle of the road for 10~20 miles before too, along with the usual 'no cellular signal' also  turns out the '15 min faster' road was more like 20 minutes slower since it was a seasonal narrow one way dead end alone a canal that i had to slowly back out of

I thought the current rumour was that force touch is going away entirely because the discoverability is garbage and nobody uses it for anything

apple craps tends to get one to the right place nowadays but as a bonus, when still wrong, doesn't give google about ones daily movements (besides ooking forwards to the Owned By Alphabet smart pipe future)

cinci zoo sniper posted:why week cal over default one? Because it has a month view where you see your entries at a glance without having to select a certain day. Regarding wallet: it just saves your passes conveniently in an app that shows up on your lockscreen when you need the pass. There is no functional difference between the QR code of your pass on wallet or the ticket in PDF form or printed out on paper.
